It's the first Stonemaier game (and what a game!) to be released on Board Game Arena (but not the last): Viticulture!
The worldwide-acclaimed game designers Jamey Stegmaier and Alan Stone have reached a milestone in 2013 by releasing a game that is still a huge success among avid gamers for many reasons.
Viticulture is a wonderful worker-placement game.
It is played over a number of rounds until someone has scored at least 20 points. At the end of that round, the player with the most points wins. Easy?
Each player has his own mat which shows his vineyard. There are areas for planting vines, for storing grapes, for ageing wines, etc. There are also a number of structures on your vineyard which help you be more efficient in your actions.
The 4 Seasons to Vivald...win
The main board has two main areas: a summer area and a winter area. Each section of the board has different action spaces.
There are also 4 different decks of cards used in the game: vine cards, order cards, summer visitor cards, and winter visitor cards.
Each round equals a year, and each of the four seasons is played in order… until someone has at least 20 points at the end of a year.
SPRING: this is essentially turn order determination.
In this first phase, players take turns placing their rooster token on any of the 7 turn order slots. The later you end up in turn order, the better type of bonus you will get that year. For instance, if you choose to go first, you do not get a bonus.
Once all players have chosen a unique spot on the chart, the turn order for the rest of the year follows that chart.
SUMMER: In summer, you get to place some/all of your workers to do specific summer actions:
-
Draw a vine card: adds a vine card to your hand.
-
Plant vines: this is how you put vine cards from your hand onto the fields on your player mat.
-
Build structures: spend gold and build things to make your actions better.
-
Give a Tour: get gold from bank.
-
Sell Grapes: get a bit of cash by selling grapes.
-
Play a Summer Visitor Card: Visitor cards have special actions/abilities on them which generally break the standard rules of the game.
FALL: draw a visitor card. You can choose whether it is a Summer or a Winter Visitor card.
WINTER: place the rest of your workers in this phase (the ones you did not play in Summer). The actions are different here, so you have to decide when in the year you need your workers to work.
-
Draw an Order Card: get an order card from the deck.
-
Harvest Field: this is how you get grapes from your vineyard.
-
Crush Grapes: convert already harvested grapes into wine. The better the quality of grapes you use here, the better the starting quality of the wine you produce will be.
-
Fulfill a Wine Order: trade in wines of thee type/quality specified on the card and receive between 2-6 Victory Points.
-
Train a Worker: get an extra worker to use in later rounds of the game.
And then the YEAR END:
In between winter and spring, clean up your area. All of the grapes and the wines age, meaning each moves to the next most valuable space on the chart– as long as you have space for them and capacity to hold that type of wine. All players discard down to 7 cards in their hand (no matter what type) and the start player token moves clockwise. Unless, of course, someone has at least 20 points. If so, the player with the most points wins.
The wine production is a multi-step process, so it could take a play or two to really get into the flow of the game.
Stonemaier offers up a rather simple but deep game that will get you hooked for a long time.
Playable from 2 to 6 players, you can enjoy it for an easy 60-minutes session.

葡萄酒庄园:在Stonemaier Veritas,酿造一瓶纯酿来获取胜利。
这是第一款在Board Game Arena (但不是最后一款)上发布的斯通迈尔公司的游戏(这是一款多么棒的游戏!):葡萄酒庄园!
2013 年,享誉全球的游戏设计师Jamey Stegmaier和Alan Stone发布了一款在狂热游戏玩家中仍然取得巨大成功的游戏,这得益于多种原因,游戏界的一个里程碑。
葡萄酒庄园是一款出色的工人放置游戏。
它会进行多轮比赛,直到有人获得 20 分。
在该回合结束时,得分最高的玩家获胜。
简单?
每个玩家都有一个,上面显示了他的葡萄园的垫子。
上面有种植葡萄树、储存葡萄、酿造葡萄酒等的区域。
您的葡萄园中还有许多建筑物可以帮助您提高行动效率。
通过 4 个季节......的游戏来获胜
主板图有两个主要区域:夏季区域和冬季区域。
主版图的每个部分都有不同的行动空间。
游戏中还使用了 4 副不同的卡片:藤蔓卡片、订单卡片、夏季访客卡片和冬季访客卡片。
每一轮等于一年,四个赛季中的每一赛季都按顺序进行……直到有人在一年结束时至少获得 20 分。
春季 :本质上是确定回合的顺序。
在第一阶段,玩家轮流将他们的公鸡指示物放在 7 个回合顺序插槽中的任何一个。
您的行动越靠后,那一年您获得的奖金类型就越好。
例如,如果您选择先行,则不会获得奖金。
一旦所有玩家在图表上选择了一个独特的位置,今年剩余时间的回合顺序将遵循该图表。
夏季:在夏季,你能放置一些/所有的工人做的具体行动:
- 抽一张藤牌:将一张藤牌加入你的手牌。
- 种植藤蔓:这是将藤蔓卡片从手上放到玩家垫子上的方法。
- 建造结构:花费金钱并建造东西以使您的行动更好。
- 参观:从银行获取黄金。
- 卖葡萄:通过卖葡萄获得一些现金。
- 打出夏季访客卡:访客卡具有特殊的动作/能力,通常会违反游戏的标准规则。
秋季: 抽一张访客卡。 您可以选择是夏季游客卡还是冬季游客卡。
冬季: 把你的其他工人放在这个阶段(你在夏天没有使用的那些)。 这里的行动是不同的,所以你必须决定一年中什么时候需要你的工人工作。
- 抽一张订单卡:从牌组中获取一张订单卡。
- 收获地:这是您从葡萄园中获取葡萄的方式。
- 粉碎葡萄:将已经收获的葡萄转化为葡萄酒。 您在这里使用的葡萄质量越好,您生产的葡萄酒的起始质量就越好。
- 履行葡萄酒订单:交易卡上指定的类型/质量的葡萄酒,并获得 2-6 点胜利点数。
- 训练一名工人:获得一名额外的工人以在游戏的后期使用。
然后是年终:
在冬季和春季之间,清理您的区域。 所有的葡萄和葡萄酒都会陈酿,这意味着每个葡萄和葡萄酒都会移动到图表上的下一个最有价值的空间——只要你有足够的空间和容量来容纳这种类型的葡萄酒。 所有玩家弃掉至 7 张手牌(无论是什么类型),起始玩家标记顺时针移动。 当然,除非有人至少有 20 分。 如果是,则得分最高的玩家获胜。
葡萄酒生产是一个多步骤的过程,因此可能需要一两次才能真正进入游戏流程。
Stonemaier提供了一个相当简单但有深度的游戏,会让你迷上很长时间。
可供 2 到 6 名玩家游戏,您可以享受 60 分钟的游戏世界。
